June Toons 2024 #26: Submarine

 Martin · 147 days
A cartoon illustration of a cylinder of water resting on the ground with a small orange submarine inside. The water is blue, and is contained within an invisible cylinder. The top of the water has ocean-like waves. The submarine is stubby and thick and has yellow fins and a red and yellow propeller. The periscope is up and sticking out of the water's surface. There are three small bubbles coming off the top of the submarine. Refracted light is cast down from the water's surface onto the top of the submarine and the floor of the water below.

For today's June Toons cartoon, I drew a small submarine sitting in a cylinder of water!

I can't believe this project is almost complete, but I also feel like I'm starting to run out of gas for it. The finish line is in sight!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Studio Pen brush for linework, and the Soft air brush for gradients.

June Toons 2024 #25: Cool Cat

 Martin · 148 days
A cartoon illustration of a cat sipping from a drink cup and riding a skateboard. The cat is orange with dark stripes on his back. He has a squat, wide body, and a scruff of shaggy hair covers his eyes. His right arm is at his side, his left arm is extended straight out to hold the drink cup, and his tail is waving loosely behind him. He is wearing a blue and pink baseball hat backward, which bends his right ear down, and a light green t-shirt with a cat head on the front. The cat head has X's for eyes and its tongue sticking out. The drink cup is light green with a blue lid and pink straw, and the skateboard is pink with light green wheels. The background is a light blue with a large rectangular white streak running behind the cat.

For today's June Toons cartoon, I drew a cool cat, having a drink and riding his skateboard!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, and the Smooth Natural Nib for everything else. That brush is from the Rusty Nib brush pack by True Grit Texture Supply.

June Toons 2024 #24: Backpack

 Martin · 149 days
A cartoon illustration of a woman carrying a large backpack. The woman is leaning forward with her head down and eyes closed, as if she is concentrating on carrying the load. She has a bob haircut and a long nose. Her skin is yellow, and her hair and lips are a glossy pink. She is wearing a striped shirt that is bright blue and a pink skirt, with her midriff visible. She has a lanky frame, and her arms are holding the straps of the backpack out tightly away from her body. The backpack is a dark gray, and is covered in colorful buttons in yellow, pink, and bright blue, with emoticons, a peace sign, and other shapes. The background is a cool gray with a light lavender streak across it, and flicks of white spray paint.

Today's June Toons cartoon is about a heavy backpack. I wanted to channel the same energy as June Toons #13, taking some strong lines across the entire character to make an interesting drawing. It started off a little rough, but by the end, I found myself really enjoying working on this one.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Fat Nozzle and Flicks spray paint brushes for background texture.

June Toons 2024 #23: Friendly Robot

 Martin · 150 days
A cartoon illustration of a simple robot smiling and waving at the viewer. The robot has a rectangular head with wide eyes and a wide, angular smile. There is a small antenna on the top of its head, with a round red ball at the end. The robot has a short neck and long arms made of a light gray, jointed metal, and a long red body that continues out of view. His body has a square door on the front. His left arm is up in the air, with his simple clawed hand waving. There are three white lines emanating from his head, and the drawing is set over a light blue background with a light blue cutting through it diagonally.

This June Toons cartoon might look a little familiar if you've been following me for along time, as I'm fairly certain I've drawn him before. I used to draw him a lot, many years ago, in little notes I would leave for my wife to find during her work day. I love robots, and it was an easy character to draw and have fun with. I have a lot of fond memories of it!

June Toons 2024 #21: Solstice

 Martin · 152 days

Today's June Toons cartoon is an homage to the Summer Solstice - which I think happened yesterday? Either way, the moon is not happy about this.

As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Smooth Natural Nib brush for linework, and the Soft air brush, Rough Dot Shader 45/Light, and Rough Dot Shader 60/Blowout for shading. The nib and dot shader brushes are from the Rusty Nib brush pack from True Grit Texture Supply.

June Toons 2024 #19: Sandwich

 Martin · 154 days
A cartoon illustration of a man enjoying a sandwich. The man is stubby and has a medium complexion. His eyes are closed and his head is tipped back, mouth open. You can see a wad of chewed up sandwich inside his mouth. He is wearing a light blue shirt decorated with splotchy lighter blue flowers. He is holding up a sandwich in his right hand, and it has a large bite taken out of it. White lines emanate off his head and a red heart is floating in the air between the man and his sandwich. The background is a pale orange with a large splatter of white spray paint centered behind the man.

I was thinking of a buddy of mine when I made today's June Toons cartoon - we share a love for sandwiches. Who doesn't love a good sandwich, though? 😄

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

June Toons 2024 #17: Peanut Butter Jelly Time

 Martin · 156 days
A cartoon illustration of an anthropomorphic banana with bulging round eyes and lanky limbs standing against a wall and smoking a blunt. His arms and legs are crossed, and his eyes are half closed. He is looking at the viewer. His peel is starting to show signs of aging, and he is blowing out a small cloud of green smoke from the corner of his mouth. He is standing against a somewhat abstract background that is just an outline of a wall and another wall running past it, with shades of blue running diagonally across.

Today's June Toons cartoon is of the little banana guy from the old "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time" Flash video taking a much-needed break.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Smooth Natural Nib brush for everything else. That one is from the Rusty Nib brush pack, from True Grit Texture Supply.
